BIOS Administrator Password

Hello,

I own an HP EliteBook 840 G5 (Serial Number: Removed, Product Number: 2FA64AV), and the device is locked with a BIOS Administrator Password. The system will not boot and requests "Administrator Password" on startup.

Please assist me in resetting the BIOS password or provide instructions for obtaining the SMC.bin unlock file. I can provide a photo of the screen, serial number, and proof of ownership if needed.

Thank you in advance!
